How to change the propagation direction of source in shadow3 of OASYS Software ?

[11Harshad]

Hello Sir,

I am working on surface which was created by assuming source propagation direction along the z-axes but in shadow source propagation direction is along the y-axes so what changes i need to make in the source properties in OASYS software so source propagation direction will be along the z-axes?

For your reference sir @srio I have attached schematic figure of setup

thanks sir

Hello, In Shadow you cannot change the reference frames. You have to adapt to them.

If you create an external surface, it has to be of the form z(x,y) (x: width, y: length, z: height), centered in the middle, and all in the same units (your Oasys user units). An example is in the tutorial example 21: https://github.com/oasys-kit/ShadowOui-Tutorial/blob/master/ex21_thermalbump.ows

Hope this helps!
